PIC24FJ256GB210 Plug-in Module Manual
Overview
The PIC24FJ256GB210 PIM is designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the PIC24FJ256GB210 family using the
Explorer 16 Demonstration Board and the PICtail™ Plus Daughter Board.
Features
• Enables designs for USB devices, embedded host and On-The-Go (OTG) when used in conjunction with the USB PICtail
Plus Daughter Board (AC164131). Because a few pins on the device are dedicated to the USB module, several of the
existing features of the Explorer 16 must be rerouted on the PIC24FJ256GB210 PIM. The Peripheral Pin Select (PPS)
feature, available on this device, allows the existing peripherals to be remapped to the new I/O pins.
• Enables designs for graphics applications when used in conjunction with the Graphics LCD Controller PICtail™ Plus
SSD1926 Board (AC164127-5). This device features the EPMP module which now supports a 16-bit parallel interface.
To use the 16-Bit Interface mode, a few signals must be rerouted via jumpers: JP1, JP2, JP3, and JP4. The wider bus
allows for faster transfer of data between the PIC
®
MCU and the LCD controller. When set to 16-Bit EPMP mode, the
USB PICtail Plus Daughter Board is not supported.
Signal Interface when Jumpers are Set to USB PICtail™ Plus Compatible Mode
Below is a table of all the pins on the device that are remapped.

Note 1: The RB10 pin on the PIC24FJ256GB210 PIM is connected to two pins on the Explorer 16 board.
2: The ENVREG pin should always be pulled up to V
DD. This device does not support the option of
disabling the internal core voltage regulator.
